Policy O/RES/P/22 (Onchan Local Plan)
Onchan Local Plan policy restricts new dwellings in open space/rural areas protected by countryside policies. However, as a reserved matters application following outline approval on appeal, it was assessed principally against the prior approval's conditions and intentions rather than re-testing the policy exception.
Strategic Policy 1
Requires best use of resources, previously developed land, efficient site use, and infrastructure. Noted as part of framework but not central as site is existing farm depot curtilage.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
Directs development to towns/villages, countryside only in exceptional cases. Framework context given prior outline approval weighed personal circumstances against policy.
Transport Policy 4
Requires highways to accommodate development safely. Satisfied with ample parking/turning and conditioned visibility splays, supported by DOI Highways.
General Policy 3
Sets countryside development exceptions. Relevant to prior approval but reserved matters focused on design/appearance compliance.
Housing Policy 4
New housing primarily in towns/villages or exceptional countryside cases (e.g. agricultural). Prior appeal approval considered minimal impact and personal circumstances material against policy.
